Journal Scope

the new rapid publication forum for research in synthetic biology & systems bioscience

ACS has announced the launch of a new peer-reviewed research journal, ACS Synthetic Biology, dedicated to research in synthetic biology including the study of systems. Led by Editor-in-Chief Christopher A. Voigt of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the journal will publish high-quality research Articles, Letters, Technical Notes, Tutorials, and Reviews that demonstrate integrative, molecular approaches enabling us to better understand the organization and function of cells, tissues, and organisms in systems.

The journal is particularly interested in studies on the design and synthesis of new genetic circuits and gene products; computational methods in the design of systems; and integrative applied approaches to understanding disease and metabolism.

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

Design and optimization of genetic systems

Genetic circuit design and their principles for their organization into programs
